Fiber Infrastructure Investment –
Is it a good choice?
• Fiber to the Home costs between $4,000 and
$12,000 per home
• Seventy percent of homebuyers will not buy a
home without a good broadband connection
• A fiber-connected home increases in value by
$3,000 to $7,000
• Well-connected residents and businesses save
money in many ways, conservatively estimated at
$1,500 per year
• Customers switching from satellite/cellular
packages to triple play FTTH report savings of
$300 - $400 per month!
• Wireless is on fiber for most of its path

What else costs about $10,000?
Anyone can decide to buy some
10 year-old stuff on Craigslist!
But one person cannot buy their
own broadband network…we
have to do that together!
